Hi Gman. If this one stays as a simple collection of articles, we can debate them over on the new thread - Complexity [Split from Resources].

We disagree, i am pretty clear on what I meant as fact. Evolution is a fact as far as I consider it, if you disagree then disagree and I understand that. But this is not a rebuttal thread. If you like to challenge some reported paper or fact here please start a new thread and if I could add something to it i will.

I think you should let the reader decide that because that is why I haven't posted my opinions in this thread but resources for Christian people who do find themselves at odds with Christians and don't want to go to atheist boards to look up stuff.
Again.. You are in error. You do not understand evolution.. There are differences of weights in the evolutionary belief system. While microevolution can be seen, macroevolution CANNOT be seen. It is simply a BELIEF based on a few facts. It dose not have all the facts. It is a very weak belief... Sorry, dream.
Call it whatever you may, I really don't mind. And for such a "weak belief" you can't seem to stay away from it either. please, just don't mess the thread up, its a resource thread, you want to debate this "dream/belief" start a new thread. Why do I have to repeat this over and over? Am I asking for something unfair here? Its a very simple request.
It would be a blessing if they missed the cairns and got lost on the way back. Or if

And with that we went below to the flame-flickering Darkness of the lower deck
and to a cold almost the equal of the Dante-esque Ninth Circle Arctic Night
without.

Doesn't work that way.. You trash other peoples topics so this is an open topic.

Your belief in marco-evolution is weak... More posts coming.

Geez you people are as bad as the fundy Y.E.Cers, stop acting like children.
1Tim1:15-17
Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners of whom I am the worst. But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display his immense patience as an example for those who would believe in him and receive eternal life. Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory for ever and ever.Amen.

Now that's an insult. Who'd want to be affiliated with the likes of Jac? :poke:

Everyone knows that evolution is not completely factual.. Even a hard core atheist knows this. So yes, it is a weak belief but especially when we talk about macro-evolution. Seriously, you have to have more faith to believe in that than G-d.

Ha ha Jac is not a fundy, he respects other interpretations even if he doesn't agree. I was more talking about the likes of Ken Ham etc... and possibly other people on this board who are quick to condemn people and compare them to Baal worshipers. ;)

I agree Gman that evolution is not complete, but have some respect for Neo's purpose in this post and take the debate to another post.
